I started to uninstall this, but it will uninstall about 20 programs that i have. This file has alot of depencies. Is there a way to replace it without uninstalling all the programs, and then reinstalling them. If not then i will uninstall it, and reinstall everything. I was just wondering if there is away to uninstall it without losing any programs that depend on it until i get the new version in. Thanks

Ok, uninstalled the old, put in the new. It messed alot of stuff up. I had to put the old back in. Alot of stuff didnt work, andmore. aviplay still said it needed the file, but when i checked it said it was installed. could it be a path of where its supposed to be located or something like that?

These files are shared libraries .... lemme start with a very simplistic example .... suppose ur printf sits in a shared library. Now when u have a C program that prints Hello World (using printf), the a.out, by default, does not have the code for the printf function. The shared library that contains the code for printf get loaded ... and then a.out references that code ...

The way that u inform the system of a new library is by using ldconfig ... check the man page and get back ...

Ok, I understand now. Here is exactly whats going on over here. I downloaded the avi xmms plugin for xmms. Installed it, and it said that it needed AVIPLAY installed before it could continue. I installed AVIPLAY and it asked for the library. I could'nt get xmms to say AVIPLAY was installed because i cant get the library to install. I tried xanim, and it wont compile either. I also tried xmovie, but it crashes. I will try the installation of AVIPLAY, and xmms plugin for avi, but this time i will use the ldconfig command to link libraries, and reset the cache. I will let you know what happens in a couple days. I have to work right now.

One more question. When i compile a program, does all the libraries, and other files go into the proper directories during compiling, or is it something i have to do manually? I noticed with a few plugins, i had to put them into the .xmms plugins directory. with the avi plugin it says nothing in the README though. Thanks for all your help.

Maybe this will help you understand more about the package i am trying to install.
